Ahead of his trip, Carney named a German and Norwegian consortium as the preferred bidder for a fleet of submarines for the Royal Canadian Navy.

The NATO summit is expected to focus on a collective increase in defence budgeting as well as alliance unity amid an increasingly threatening world.

Carney has, in the meantime, been campaigning for allies to set up a multinational defence bank to help finance growth in the global defence sector.
